OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

The consideration Of the immediate
necessities of southern and western
Texas has operated somewhat to divert
attention from the real progress that the
state is making. Sherman, In his recent
speeches in the south, referred to the
rapid spread of manufacturing indus
tries all over the south, and the unpre-
oedented increase of the first three
months of this year over all other cor
responding periods. In that statement
the number of new factories and estab-
lishmeDts employing considerable num-
bers OF laborers, was put down at nearly
1000 This estimate does not Overstate
the facts. The Chattanooga Tradesman
in recent issue endeavors to classify
these newly opened industries and give
a tabulated statement of them. TO the
completeness of this list the New Or
leans Times Democrat takes exceptions,
particularly in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, where the figures OF the Grades
man" are far below the actual indus
lIltb tbldDllshths llOhN Sbhis LiiiihS
cotton, pottery and milling, Qumber) in
dustries are the principal. The tabulated
statement shows Of these one hundred
and thirty-seven saw mills, iron fur
naces, rolling mills and iron works of
various kinds, eighty-five all told; min
ing companies, forty-fiVe; forty coke and
coal cOmpanies;tw enty-two cotton mills,
and fifty-six potteries. Incomplete as Is
the list, and natural as it would be
that many omissions would be made in
listing Texas Industries, the Lone Star
State is placed fourth in the ranks. Ten
nessee leads, with 1913 new
industries organized since January
l, 1887; Alabama has l4S,
North Carolina, 50, and Texas, SO. 1t is
very noticeable in this list that in lum-
Der. cotton, iron mining and manufac-
lures, potteries, and coal and coke pro-
duction, the south is branching out.
The day is dawning in which the south
will dispute with the north the whole
iron, coal, lumber and cotton manufac-
turing lines OF industry. Texas has no
cause to take back seat In the great
congress of southern industries. 1t is
only a day, comparatively speaking,
since she turned her attention from cat
tie growing to mark what natural adj
vsntages she possessed other than that
Of being the great grazing ground of
creation. Already she finds her coal
fields ample to supply her steam and
fuel for all time; her iron deposits are
generous enough to give her the raw
material for every iron work she will
ever require and gridiron her vast sur
face with railroads, the rails thereof the
product OF her own rolling mills. Her
deposits Of marble and porcelain clay
are the finest on the continent. She can
clothe her people in cotton, and wool
and silk Of her own raising; feed them
with every food necessary to man, and
grow IL all at home. Uncle Sans big
farm is the verItaDle garden of the gods,
the South Land is the chosen section OF
this great domain and Texas Is the
crown Of this beautiful south.

THE CITY EMPLOYEES.

In the controversy that arose last year
concerning the employment and remu-
neration OF the city labOrers, the LIGHT
was outspoken for the abOlishing OF the
contract system and the employment or
| the necessary labor direct by the city
From that opinion the LIGHT has never
receded, and again urges upon the city
in the present distress the course adVo-
Gated some months since. 1t Is no charity
to man to give him aims when he can
work for living and work can be fur
| nished him. No man with any feeling
will accept aid so long as he has ghost
of chance of helping himself. The next
| three months will be critical ones with
many workingmen in this city, psrticu-
| larly those unskilled workingmen and
day laborers who find their principal oc-
cupation In the odd jobs that they do on
the streets, in the gardens, or around
the premises Of citizens. The street i'm
provements to be made this year would
give employment TO most OF these peo-
pie during the next three months, by
which time IL is sincerely to be hoped
and most reasonably expected that the
hardest days will have passed, and with
them them the pinching want which
necessitates the city to come to the re-
lief of her poorer citizens. 1t Is only
question of doing this and giving these
people n chance to earn their own Nv
ing, or maintaining them at public ex-
pense, for it cannot be accepted as pos
sible that San Antonio would see any
one starving and actually perlshing
for want of food In her corporate
limits. Those of us who eat our regular
meals three times day and are COM
fortably housedl have very little idea OF
the real restitution that prevails in this
city. The impoverished condition OF
the country has driven scores and
hundreds into the towns, in the vain
hope Of securing employment. and some
means of assisting them to live must be
provided. In other countries system CT
public works Ia undertaken by govern
ment, In times OF great need, to furnish
employment for those who would other
wise starve, or become burden to the
municipalities, or swell the ranks OF
those who, grown desperate with
hunger, take by stealth or force that
which they would gladly work to pro-
cure. The city council is earnestly re-
commended to take this condition OF
things, now existing in San Antonio,
under adVisement. Instruct their street
commissioner to commence work and
give employment to as many OF the des-
titute unemployed as practicable, giving
the prefer nee to those who have fami-
lies to support. Let the council fix the
remuneration for such labor, scaling it
according to the value Of labor perform
ed, and order the payment for such labor
made weekly. BY this means very much
of the present city distress will be re-
lieved, and the city will not be turned
into an almshouse, neither will the in
dustriOus be Inundated by an enforced
acceptance OF charity.

GIVE US A RESI-.

There Is no use now in harping upon
the shortcomings OF this legislature,
which has closed the record for two
years and gathering up Its coat tails and
grip-ssck departed from Austin: The
good it has done will be forgotten, while
the evils OF its omissions to do
what 1t should have done, will be held
10 remembrance until next legislative
election. The one thing that concerns
us as a state, is to prevent, II possible,
the infiction OF such legislative
body upon the people Of Texas at any
future period. The very suggestion Of
q possibility that this Goth Legislature
might be convened In special session by
his excellency, the governor, has caused
the ohills Of nervous apprehension to
course down the spinal column Of the
citizens OF the state The work which
this 10th legislature failed to do In reg
ular session they are not likely to per-
form In any special session. 1t were wiser
for Gov. Ross TO permit the state to suf-
fer the legislative Ills 1t now endures,
rather than fly to ills 1t knows not Of.
1t is most sincerely to be hoped that no
special session Of this Legislature will be
called. Let its work cease to torment
the exaspersted citizens OF Texas, by
